Lionel Messi struck for Barcelona, capitalising on Chelsea's one and only mistake in the game to cancel out Willian's opener to give Barcelona the all-important away goal heading into the second leg at the Nou Camp.

All of us can't help but feel disappointed that we have not walked away from the game with a clean sheet and at least a two-goal lead to take to Spain in a few weeks' time.

All Chelsea eyes will be on Eden Hazard this evening as we look to our inspirational Belgian to lead the Chelsea attack.

Eden Hazard will continue to be compared to both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi because he is that good. Arguably behind them as the third or fourth best player in world football, he is yet to produce the goods for Chelsea when it matters on the biggest stage.

Champions League Betting Tips for Chelsea v Barcelona There's already been more than enough excitement over the first week of the Champions League Round Of 16, and there's expected to be even more drama as we go into week two, with Chelsea's tie at home to Barcelona looking like the game of the week.

Despite the obvious calls for Chelsea to play with Willian alongside Eden Hazard in support of our main striker against Barcelona tomorrow evening, I personally believe that Antonio Conte will resist and revert to the three-man midfield.

We must take everything into consideration ahead of the game and for me it's the sensible decision despite Tiemoue Bakayoko being forced out of the game with injury.

In just under a week's time, Chelsea face Barcelona in the Champions League round of sixteen. Could Antonio Conte and his Chelsea side achieve what seems like the impossible and beat them over two legs?

With all the drama surrounding our club, the constant speculation of the head-coach's immediate future and Chelsea having only just returned to winning ways with victory over West Brom on Monday, the footballing world would install FC Barcelona as the clear favourites to go through.

Football is the language of love - and if you are like us (Art of Football) you are fluent in it. You are devoted to your badge, your colours and your match-day rituals. That unconditional loyalty is rooted deep within you, it's integral to the game; but it isn't the reason you fell hopelessly, often obsessively in love with Football.

Chelsea take on West Brom this evening at Stamford Bridge with the world watching, expecting things to fall apart once more with Antonio Conte sacked. It's up to Chelsea to deliver the right result in addition to a performance to shut people up!

We've all had to suffer the banter and opinion of the non-Chelsea fans we know this passed week and have had to put up with a whole week focused on whether or not Antonio Conte would remain as Chelsea's head-coach.

Gary Cahill has been speaking to Sky Sports ahead of tonight's Monday Night Football and has called for calm whilst admitting that our last two performances have been more than below the required levels expected here at Chelsea.

Having suffered defeat at home to Bournemouth 0-3 two weeks ago we were all looking for Chelsea to bounce back with a good display against Watford a week ago.

If there is one thing we can all agree on as Chelsea fans now, it's that Antonio Conte looks within himself a shadow of the head-coach he was last season.

I am tired and quite frankly bored of reading/watching all the opinion of Chelsea's current woes coupled with the opinions of ex-players, pundits and reporters who have never kicked a ball professionally in their lives on Antonio Conte.

Antonio Conte is on the verge of being sacked at Chelsea after disastrous back-to-back defeats to Bournemouth and Watford a few days ago. Despite those two obvious loses, more important Chelsea failed to perform in those games and they looked really bad on the field. Just a season on from winning the Premier League, the Italian is battling to save his job after seeing Chelsea fall massive 19 points behind Manchester City in the title race.
